This made Third Grandpa laugh and said to Chen Yang: "Of course you can't afford three million. On the contrary, you can afford it very much. But there is one thing I have to make clear to you. If you want to live in our village,
To build an ancestral hall that is shared by all the surnames, you cannot pay for it alone. You have to ask everyone to pay and contribute red money. Only when everyone contributes money will they have a share in the ancestral hall. When the time comes, everyone’s ancestors will be included.
If the tablet is here, it is considered shared. If you alone pay for it, then what do you think it counts? You can do the math yourself!"
Chen Yang thought for a while and finally clapped his hands and said, "Grandpa Third, you are right. Let's do this. I will go find other people tomorrow and discuss it with them and see what they say."
"Okay, you can go ahead. Anyway, I personally agree with your words."
"good!"
After having dinner here, Chen Yang did not go home and came to Lu Xuewei's house.
Lu Xuewei had just eaten and was looking at the menu.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Chen Yang walked in suddenly and asked.
Lu Xuewei was startled, but then she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Yang. She took the menu and said, "This is the dish at Third Grandpa's banquet. It was served to me."
"Hey, twelve bowls, why not sixteen bowls?"
"Third Grandpa has said that the banquets here used to have a lot of food. Sixteen bowls and eighteen bowls were really wasteful. He didn't like it. Although everyone's life is getting better now, but
Money should be spent where it should be spent, and should not be spent indiscriminately, nor should it be wasted. However, everyone can't live up to their reputation, so when hosting a banquet, they still like to talk about the number of bowls. Let's start with him. He is not afraid of embarrassment, so let's start with him.
The number of vegetable bowls has been reduced to twelve bowls. Everyone can learn from this in the future. If someone is more bold in making banquets in the future, it would be better if they can reduce the number to ten or eight bowls. In this way, the people at the table can just finish the meal without worrying about the number of dishes.
It’s a waste, don’t you think?”
Chen Yang nodded and said: "The Third Grandpa is right, otherwise he would have to be called the Third Grandpa. Look at how aware he is!"
"Don't come here... By the way, the invitation has been written?"
"I've finished writing it. Third Grandpa said I wrote it well."
Lu Xuewei looked at Chen Yang with a smile and said, "You are still bragging in front of me."
"Why am I bragging about my good writing? Could it be that my writing is not good?"
"Okay, okay, you wrote well..."
Chen Yang said that he had already stepped forward to look at the menu together.
The two sat down together.
"Look, what I mean is that now our main course here is braised pork, which is our local specialty and an old rule, and then steamed fish, which are two hard dishes. And then there is another fried dish.
Yes, I recommend boiling it white, this thing is delicious. In addition, there is a soup, which is already four. But now we have seafood here, so we have two seafood dishes and one soup.
It’s abalone, and the other one is shrimp…”
Lu Xuewei was talking here, and finally said: "I think these twelve dishes are quite reasonable, do you think you are right..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yang had already kissed her.
How many dishes and what are in those dishes are not what Chen Yang cares about.
There's only one thing I care about right now, and that's you.
"Oops..." Lu Xuewei patted Chen Yang and finally said, "Don't mess around. I'm thinking about the menu here..."
"It's okay, I'll think about it later..."
As he said that, Chen Yang had already picked her up.
Lu Xuewei gave up completely. Based on her understanding of Chen Yang, if it doesn't go as he wants this time, you won't be able to sleep tonight.
Not long after, the two of them entered the room.
The room is as warm as spring.
The next day, Lu Xuewei had already gone to prepare dishes for Third Grandpa's banquet early in the morning.
Chen Yang came to the village headquarters.
The village cadres were quite surprised that a big shot like Chen Yang came to the village headquarters.
"Xiaoyang!" Chen Xinhua has been the village chief for several years now, and he has done a really good job. He is much better than Wang Limin, and he has always been as stable as a mountain. When he saw Chen Yang, he laughed and said, "You
Why are you here?"
"Uncle Xinhua, I came here to ask you a favor for something."
"you say!"
"Can you help me find all the surnames in our village, even if they only have one surname, and call a representative for me. We have something to discuss."
"Now?" Chen Xinhua asked.
"Yes. Right now!" Chen Yang nodded seriously.
"Okay, just wait..." Chen Xinhua saw that Chen Yang indeed had something big to do, and immediately nodded and said, "I'll do it right away."
After saying that, he had already gone out to call for help.
Chen Yang sat there and waited.
Chen Xinhua is the village chief here, and he knows more about the affairs of the village than Chen Yang. It is definitely right for him to find the person.
Sure enough, it didn't take long before everyone was found.
In fact, there are quite a few surnames in Taohua Village, and Chen Xinhua is also a smart man. Since he wanted to discuss important matters, he called two more people if there were more people, and two less people if there were fewer people.
But there are definitely people of all surnames coming here.
"They're all here..." Chen Yang immediately became energetic when he saw their arrival and greeted them.
Everyone greeted Chen Yang one after another.
"Come on, come on, sit down. Today is the second day of junior high school. I have invited everyone here. There is indeed something I need to discuss with you..."
What are we discussing so early?
"That's what I think. The development of our village is pretty good now, but the local customs in our village have never been lost. You see, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year is also the 81st birthday of Grandpa San.
Instead of doing it in a hotel, we chose to do it ourselves in our village, the old way. I was thinking, in fact, there should be a platform for people to have banquets in our village. I thought of it. Otherwise, in our village
Let’s build a shared ancestral hall.”
Everyone looked at Chen Yang.
Ancestral halls are not uncommon in rural areas. They are a way to unite clan members and are very effective.
But it has always been a surname only, or even a certain clan. Things like this that are shared by several surnames actually rarely happen.
But what about now?
Chen Yang wanted to propose building an ancestral hall shared by all surnames.
"This..." one of them said, "What Xiaoyang said is also true, but there are many surnames in our village..."
"Big and small, there are a total of seven surnames in our village!" Chen Xinhua said, "Our surname is Chen the most, followed by Wang, followed by He and other surnames. Anyway, there are seven surnames in total. This shows that our village
It’s because people moved here later, that’s why there are so many people. It’s fate that everyone moved here together. It’s not easy. And now we have made some progress and are developing very well. Xiaoyang is now here
The proposal is really good. In fact, as the village leader, I think Xiaoyang’s idea is right. We can indeed build such an ancestral hall. From now on, everyone’s weddings and weddings can be held there.”
Others took a look.
If other people mentioned it, they would think it was a bit unreliable, but when Chen Yang mentioned it, it can be done!
